Coleslaw, a fresh and crunchy salad, has its origins in Dutch cuisine, where it was known as "koolsla," which means cabbage salad. This dish became popular in the United States and has become a classic accompaniment for barbecues and fast food. In Latin America, although the recipe varies slightly, it is commonly known as "ensalada de repollo" or simply "coleslaw." In countries like Mexico and Colombia, it is common to find variations that include fresh and colorful ingredients, sometimes called "ensalada de repollo con mayonesa" or "ensalada fresca de repollo." This salad is appreciated for its texture and balanced flavor, combining acidity with a sweet and creamy touch.
